i've been thinking lately that i'd want to get a tattoo that symbolizes my love for skiing. like an epic saying or quote. nothing with the word steez or jea or somethin, because lets face it, the words will be out of style soon. i just want something to sum up my love for skiing that i'll always be able to show people. but its gonna be somewhere where you can't see it usually. i don't wanna get a tatto and be thought badly against in interviews or something. do you guys have any ideas. i'm thinking about putting a quote somewhere on my back. any input would be great

Get one saying "I'm a ****... honestly!"
***: skier/freerider/parkrat... whatever you like.

Something I think of getting is a sun with rays on my chest, over my shoulder. You're thread gave me the idea of putting a skier in profile in it, thanks! hahaha

I am continuing with my sleeve. I now have a traditional japanese tiger, with wind and snowflakes around my whole forearm. I have a full sleeve on my left arm and the ski or die skull is a mirror of a skull on my left that says sink or swim. I wanted matching skulls and it started as a joke and I just went with it.

My wife has a half sleeve that is a pinkup holding skis. Its an amazing tattoo and probably the most original ski related tattoo I have seen.

its an interent website full of kids. dont be so sensitive.

but as for the tattoo just to give you some ideas i have a friend who has a rain drop falling and its like a sequence and each one its changing into snowflakes.

another friend has the alta snowflake with a skier blowing through it getting a face shot.

i have seen plenty of snowflakes on feet, calfs, shoulders.

i am working on a 3/4 sleeve right now. its in my profile. a snowstorm on top at my shoulder, an avalanche coming down my arm, there is a howitzer canon launching a shell up over the avalanche.

I got the work "Ski" on the inside of my left ankle. it hurt like a bitch, but I'm really not that tattoo type. I just knew it was something I would never get sick of and noone would know that I had it.

i have a skier and the word ski spelled out in hands on my chest (mostly inspired by a a sick drawing by i8van). its pretty baller. tattoos are so addictive, i really want another one but i dont want it to be ski related, and i havent come up with anything good enough yet

"Don't get a tattoo!  It will throw off your balance slightly and your skiing will never be the same!"
-the only thing skiierman ever said that I enjoyed (also not a direct quote)

well u could bite on a common surfing tatto with a treak, there are a lot of tattos with the sun out line and in the middle a nice beach shot with a curling wave, you could do that instead of the sun have a snowflake, instead of the beach have a nice snowcaped mountain or something jus tan idea

a true gaper, that what you should do.

atleas you should have something you would regret in two-three years. those are the most awsome.

getting a snowflake on the outside of each elbow would be a cool takeoff of the hardcore kids that get a star tattooed on each of their elbows.
